On Friday night on Fox, WWE continues its march to SummerSlam with a stacked episode of SmackDown, headlined through an unpredictable showdown between Universal Champion Braun Strowman and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.
Speaking of The Fiend, Alexa Bliss will talk about her relationship with the masked monster of WWE.
Can we, however, find out precisely what happened to him in the week between them and what long-term effects it could have from terrorist clashes?
Launch a real three-brand war on the No. 1 candidate for the SmackDown Women’s Championship and Big E’s increased chance in angels to turn out to be successful as a single star and you have an exhibition with a wonderful sense of urgency as you go. the most prestigious extravagances on demand from the angels of the company.
Find out what happened, how it affected the superstars in question, and what happened in the existing scenarios with this August 14 program summary.
Already for friday night’s show:
The ultimate intriguing thing is real war with stars from Raw, SmackDown and NXT.
Is this an opportunity for someone from Raw, like Shayna Baszler, to get a concept of the blue logo name in PPV without being in this program? Could this be an opportunity to resort to an NXT ability to fight Bayley?
Anyway, expect the unexpected and one or two possible surprises as we know who the oldest WWE protection champion will protect at the biggest party of the summer.
Big E sought to continue his individual victories through John Morrison in the opening contest of the night.
Before the game started, Retribution attacked. They shot Big E, broke his knee and left Morrison’s mendacity in a heap. Upon arrival, they left, leaving Miz running toward the ring’s domain and controlling his wife Morrison.
After the break, the costumes met. After Morrison blamed Big E’s tweet for provoking Retribution’s anger. King Corbin arrived and mocked that he would take over the costumes of SmackDown.
Big E silenced him and gathered the troops before Sheamus arrived, sporting a new appearance.
The Celtic warrior claimed that Retribution would never interfere in his attack because he was afraid of it. Big E responded to Sheamus, printed and left with the rest of the superstars.

It’s a wonderful way to meet the conclusion of last week’s program.
For those who only look at SmackDown, he answered the question “What’s the next step for Retribution?” While defining Big E as the costume leader.
Speaking of Big E, he’s taken the sights of Corbin and Sheamus, two possible fights to come. A segment of the screen that achieves all this in the first 15 minutes is a success.
A promotion from Bayley and Sasha Banks gave way to raw team champions SmackDown and Women’s Tag-Team, who were the special ring announcers for the Tri-Branded Battle Royal to the No. 1 contender for the former.
Competitors Billie Kay and Peyton Royce from IIconics, Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox of NXT, Lacey Evans, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, Shayna Baszler, Bianca Belair, Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke and Tamina Snuka.
The eliminations came temporarily and furiously at first, leading to a ring fight between Riott, Morgan and The IIconics. Moments later, Tamina took Cross with a little surprise. Snuka came face-to-face with Belair in a clash between the powers. EST made the most of this exchange, delivering a spear and getting rid of it.
Naomi and Evans have resumed their rivalry, the latter gaining advantage over their enemy with the woman’s forehand. Blackheart left her. Baszler implemented Karifuji’s bag to Shotzi and Evans threw it to the ground. Belair’s own impulse was loaded because Nox sent her to the ground. The NXT star shot Asuka and Baszler in search of a win.
Brooke, never eliminated before in the match, dragged Nox to the ground before joining Baszler and Asuka. Her race was short-lived when the Empress sent her to pack. The Queen of Spades attacked Asuka with a bad kick, but former Raw champion repelled elimination through the state of Bayley and Banks’ fallen bodies.
Asuka eliminated Baszler to win the set and title.
Result
Asuka won the royal battle, Baszler’s elimination

He wasn’t an intelligent couple, but neither was the ultimate war royalty.
The reservation was interesting, to say the least. Did we have to watch Asuka get another set of names when he already had one opposite Sasha Banks? Why even come with Baszler and threaten to damage his credibility in an attack like this when they may have used Snuka in the same place?
The same goes for Belair, who doesn’t have enough of the eldest to sacrifice his momentum in a real senseless battle.
It didn’t help those who weren’t already concerned about the woman’s name photo and given the sheer amount of talented competition involved, this is the biggest indictment for the whole event.
But well, Bayley and Banks were wonderful as insufferable advertisers, so that’s it.
After a wonderful comeback and intense bout with his ex-friend and wife of the Tag Team Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose headed to the WWE Universe.
She reminded The Pride Fighter that she would possibly be a bikini model, but had three jobs at the same time she won competitions. He would probably have entered Tough Enough, but Deville also did and broke his ass to get to WWE.
Ugly, she’s not scared of her. So much so that she challenged Deville to a Hair vs Hair Match at SummerSlam and called her former friend’s bluff.

If you’d noticed late last year that Rose would do that kind of intense promotion and triumph over the raw emotion of her enmity with Deville, you would have laughed at the play.
Now, after the excellence of your rivalry at this point, this is yet another example of those who care about the functionality that improves the curtains than the other way around.
Rose was wonderful here and if she could locate herself to cut this promotion constantly and keep it between the strings, without problems to that forward star that WWE expected it to be from the moment she was signed newly released from Tough Enough.
Rose-Deville rivalry is the story of WWE right now and promotions like this are the reason.
A week after costing Sheamus a win over Matt Riddle and paying dearly, Shorty G The Celtic Warrior in singles.
The former Olympian thwarted his opponent early, to bring him down. A giant punching handful on his face reduced his momentum and the Irish curse shot the artist formerly known as Chad Gable.
Shorty G recovered and implemented an ankle lock, then nearly scored the fall of a rollup.
Sheamus introduced White Noise to avoid his opponent’s rotation and set him away with the Brogue Kick for victory.
Result
Sheamus defeated Shorty G

So, is Shorty G a heel or a babyface?
Two weeks ago he was a villain, but in this, obviously, the babyface.
Is he aligned with King Corbin? Do you have a vendetta opposite Riddle?
Do you mind?
WeArray is an amazing professional wrestler with a device that even eight-year-olds would consider silly and outdated. Fix it, WWE Creative, because only you waste the athletic strength of a fighter that is much more vital to the product than it is now.
Sheamus’ victory is Array … meh, if only because it turns out to be more commonly unleaded after the conclusion of his enmity with Jeff Hardy.
Update: After distracting Matt Riddle so king Corbin can attack from behind, it’s still a heel. At least for this week.
AJ Styles, accompanied by the wonderful Joseph Park (Google he), climbed the ring and presented the Phenomenal Intercontinental Statistic System (yes, P.I.S.S.) to see his most productive suitor.
After revealing her own call as the only one on the list, she condescendingly challenged the costume to paint hard. Jeff Hardy interrupted, saw what the Intercontinental Championship is like for him and officially presented a challenge for a game opposed to Styles for that.
Styles fe tuned sincerity by addressing Hardy before refusing the request.
Hardy downloaded about Styles and sent him to the floor before writing his own call on the list.

WWE has a long history and unnecessarily considered stories.
That’s another example.
Was it too complicated to book “Wrestler A has a belt; Fighter B needs a belt; Fight? Apparently, because WWE went through this complicated segment that brought statistics, it featured a cameo from Joseph Park/Abyss and added nothing. to what could have been a much less complicated segment.
Hardy vs Styles will reign and, more importantly, attract wrestling enthusiasts who would have seen it ten years ago and who have recently disconnected. Both are recognizable faces and have a history of screen theft.
It’s a disgrace that they don’t have a more powerful (or more lucid) story, as they plan to face off on August 23 at SummerSlam.
While Fighting House Party watches the SmackDown team championships, Grand Metalik faced Shinsuke Nakamura as Golden Lynx and Cesaro watched from the edge of the ring.
Metalik used his high-flying attack to thwart Nakamura’s initial success, letting the Artist guess where he would fly later.
A distraction from Cesaro allowed Nakamura to catch his opponent with a kick to the chest. That earned him two points.
In the middle of the fight, Kalisto returned, dropping Cesaro with a DDT tornado on the ramp. Back inside, Metalik scored a top elbow for the frustrated victory.
Result
Metalik defeated Nakamura

WWE has many paintings to make to convince its fans of the credibility of Lucha House Party, after spending the last two years presenting them as glorified improvement talents.
Metalik’s IC championship with AJ Styles a few weeks ago was evidence that, even in the middle of a big game, it’s hard to worry because you never know that this guy has a chance to beat Styles.
The same goes for Kalisto or Dorado.
Kalisto’s return would have meant more if he had been bigger before an injury pulled him out of the ring.
That said, the trio is in the middle of their most consistent TV series in many months, so we can hope to convince those in force to continue. After all, they are too talented to stay away.
Alexa Bliss sat down for an exclusive interview and talked about her friendship with Braun Strowman, with photographs of social media and the Mixed Match Challenge.
The interviewer asked about a more private date and why The Fiend attacked him. Bliss hinted that, being in the presence of The Fiend, he may simply feel it. It includes the word “a moth to a flame”.
The interviewer asked Bliss what he thought of Strowman’s statement that he “doesn’t care about Alexa.” The emotion struck her as we headed for the breakup.

Apparently, Bliss and Strowman are so close that she would have a romantic date with him. Although there have been clues and reminders of their friendship over the years, there have never been any indications of more than that.
Very conveniently, so far.
Bliss then gave the impression of being absolutely constrained through the bond she formed with The Fiend during her time in her presence. This is, mostly in this segment, what deserves to be observed before SummerSlam.
Finally, the suspense related to Bliss’s emotional injury after Strowman’s words a week earlier still alludes to Bliss’s possible interference in the Universal Championship game at SummerSlam. Could she The Fiend?
The fact that we ask this means that this last wrinkle works and has exponentially uploaded the program.
He was the character in which Bliss was wonderful and that was no exception.
Sonya Deville responded to Mandy Rose’s challenge for a Hair vs. Hair Match at SummerSlam. “Whoever would have done it would need a little haircut to get you out of the aggression,” Rose laughed. She swore to destroy Rose, once and for all, in SummerSlam. “See you soon, Baldy, ” he concludes.
We headed to the ring for Big E opposed to John Morrison in the attack that intended to take position before the night.
Morrison aimed at his opponent’s knee, taking advantage of a distraction from The Miz. Lighting artifacts flashed as the break approached and when they returned, the list had surrounded the ring. With the fighters in the arena, Retribution attacked the referees and team members behind the scenes, assaulting and humiliating them.
Arbitrator Jessika Carr alerted the superstars when Morrison and Big E clashed.
Big E, however, made his way into the adjustment and implemented the elastic muffler to force a submission.
Sheamus attacked the winner with a Brogue Kick, just in time for Braun Strowman to appear and Michael Cole to released a break.
Result
Big E defeated Morrison

While it’s great to see retribution set aside to pursue the wisest and most cunning anarchists than fools by thwarting the list, many things were happening here, and most of them were at Big E’s expense.
We know that Big E is in the midst of this wonderful singles drive, but it was overshadowed by the invaders, then by Sheamus and, despite everything, By Strowman. She was a last woman in a game who deserves to have propelled him forward, but instead left him a bit as a player in a wider segment.
It just didn’t work, even though Big E won.
Deville accepting Rose’s challenge sets the final bankruptcy of a rivalry that has been SmackDown’s constant maxim.
Braun Strowman returned to SmackDown, rabid and deranged than ever.
Moaning with each and every word, he demanded the presence of The Fiend. Instead, Alexa Bliss joined him and asked him to break with the brain state he was in. Instead, Strowman accused Bliss of mocking him and him for his own benefit.
He tried to make some sense of the Universal Champion, but Strowman lifted it over his head in a gorilla pressure, threatening to hit her until The Fiend appeared.
He did, joining Bliss in the ring but knowing that Strowman was nowhere to be found. Braun gave the impression on the video screen, laughing hysterically and then screaming. The Fiend joined him laughing before the “let me in” broadcast to close the program.

An analysis
Strowman’s slow transformation into a monster through his behavior, rather than his name, was executed in some way. Fans already know, based on a story established in the past, that The Fiend has adverse effects on everyone found. Finn Balor and Seth Rollins have undergone character transformations. John Cena has not been noticed since WrestleMania.
Strowman resisted at first, but after Extreme Rules, he became a darker, more self-damaging version. A user immune to Bliss’s friendship and even willing to threaten his well-being if that means attracting the attention of The Fiend.
And that’s where the appealing advances of this story lie.
Along with Bliss expressing the plot in The Fiend earlier in the series, The Fiend that comes to his aid can very well be a facade invented through Bliss and Strowman to lure Bray Wyatt’s ego into a trap.
Happiness and alignment with The Fiend is the ultimate intriguing result, however, its dark appearance is over.
This would be in line with the effects of The Fiend and give the competitor a whole new personality to adopt in the future.
